GRAND CHUTE - The FBI has assigned an agent to work with Grand Chute police who are investigating a homemade explosive that ignited a fire Sunday night at Planned Parenthood clinic.

Operators of the women's health clinic, meanwhile, say safety will be a key concern when they reopen Tuesday.

Teri Huyck, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin, declined to comment specifically about any additional security precautions the Gillett Street clinic would take in response to the incident, though assured "our first concern is for the safety of our patients and our staff." ...

Two people were killed and nearly 50 bicyclists and pedestrians were injured last year in crashes in Appleton. As more bicyclists and walkers hit the road in the warm weather, Appleton police plan to combat risks by stationing officers at problem spots.
